Vieux Château Certan Vieux Château Certan 2024

The 2024 Vieux Château Certan emerges as one of the vintage's rare triumphs, showcasing remarkable density despite the challenging growing season. Graphite and tobacco notes frame the black fruit core, while the higher Cabernet proportion adds compelling structure and spice. Medium-bodied yet surprisingly weighty on the back palate, with distinctive peppery intensity that sets it apart from its Pomerol peers. This uncompromising style may lack the finesse of legendary vintages, but delivers impressive substance and flavor concentration. One of the few 2024s that demands proper cellaring.
